<p>It's
a traditional criticism of the modern horror film that the world
represented is sexist in nature. It's a simplistic argument, but
one that a surface-level analysis of most horror films would confirm.
After all, don't most depict women in peril -- from <em>Halloween</em>
to <em>The
Texas Chain Saw</em>
<em>Massacre</em>
to <em>Suspiria</em>?
While it might seem like the most obvious of possible assessments,
what this criticism fails to recognize are the areas in which the
horror genre upends conventional depictions of women as
victims.</p><p><a href="http://classic-horror.com/newsreel/the_fruit_cellar_all_my_power_all_my_beauty_all_my_life" target="_blank">read more</a></p>http://classic-horror.com/newsreel/the_fruit_cellar_all_my_power_all_my_beauty_all_my_life#commentsThe Fruit CellarCommentarylemorathe fruit cellarWed, 10 Nov 2010 06:56:25 +0000Missy Yearian17564 at http://classic-horror.com
